“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. (Isaiah 55:8)“...These fellows (have) turned the world upside down...by saying that there is another king - Jesus!” (Acts 17:6-7)In the “world according to Jesus”, most everything we’ve come to accept as normal is turned upside-down. The lame walk, the blind see, the poor are rich. The weak are strong, the servants lead, and the meek inherit the earth. Jesus is at odds with conventional thinking. This Servant-King challenges our understanding of authority and power, good and evil. His life, death, and resurrection reveal a radically different pathway to the wholeness, liberty, and flourishing that God intended for every human heart from the dawn of creation. - excerpt from "Why Vineyard".And here's something worth remembering: This upside-down way of Jesus… It's never the easy way.
